Kiteboarding is a water sport that is growing faster in public, more than other emergent sports. Kiteboarding is the infusion of multiple other sports such as kite flying, wakeboarding, and windsurfing. This combination make women and men feel on a eternal dream of flying. This sport, as it names says, requires specially designed large power kites propel their pilots across the water on kiteboards. With Kiteboarding, it is possible to fly as birds do! Actually, the most experienced pilots are getting 20 to 40 feet of air and performing amazing aerials. Also, kiteboarding can be a year-round sport. In summer, you can enjoy fight off waves or flat water and in the winter, you can carve through the snow.

People might think this sport is difficult to learn since everything dealing with flying remains as extreme sports. But, kiteboarding is not that difficult, contrary, it is easy to learn. As with any dangerous and physically demanding extreme sport, it is recommended to seek professional assistance. And for sure, advantages cannot wait. This sport is very portable, affordable, it is possible to do in lower winds, and you can learn to launch huge air even off flat water.

Nevertheless, as every single sport you want to practice, there are some steps that are better to follow. For instance, at Fort Lauderdale KiteSurfing Co. they advise people to take into account the necessary steps to success in kitesurfing.

Steps of learning: Step one Kite Control:We will travel to one of many large beaches in the area. We will discuss and practice Kite setup, Kite control, and etiquette.After a successful lesson in Kite control we will move into the water for a lesson on body dragging. Body dragging is the process of using the kite to propel you through the water in a desired direction without the use of a board.

Step two Body Dragging:After a successful lesson in Kite control we will move into the water for a lesson on body dragging. Body dragging is the process of using the kite to propel you through the water in a desired direction without the use of a board.

Step three Water Starts:Once the student understands the basics of kite control they will be instructed on how to perform a water start. A water start is the first step to standing up and riding on the board.

Step four Kiteboarding:It is now time to harmonize kite and board control for longer rides. We will provide step by step instruction on how to improve technique in order to accomplish multiple goal sets. At this place you can be sure that lessons are taught with a maximum of 3 students, so the instructor will be there for you as many times as you need him/her.

Now, let’s talk about the lesson plan a kiteboarding course should propose you. Intro to kiting -Learn to identify a safe launch area-Learn to identify wind speed, direction and quality-Fly a trainer kite and practice a release-Discover the clock system-Fly the edge of the window-Low, med and high wind power strokes-Simulated body drag-Simulated water start-Basic meteorology-Set up a inflatable kite-Determining kite size-Simulated release-Fly inflatable kite-Perform a release-Simulated self rescue

Intro to kiting – water segment-Right of way and kite boarding ethics-Water re-launches-Body dragging upwind and one-handed kite control-Body dragging down wind using a high wind power stroke-Board recovery simulation-Water starts both directions-Edging-Parking the kite-Perform a self landing/self rescue

Now, you know the steps and the lesson plans designed for amateurs. It just lasts the attitude you will have for your new course.
